yeah!!! I've done it! I killed the bastard! (in normal) and completed a personal achievement, I watched all the credits, they name all the customer support reps!! that's crazy
now, who want to start nightmare with a lousy equipped wizard?
LOL! I watched the entire credit roll to. At first I jsut started watching because I know if I had a hand in a project this major, I would want someone to at least see my name.
By the end, it was getting so long that I was just watching, convinced that it would be a Feat of strength because the length was ridiculuos.
-------------------------
In other news, beat Act 1 Inferno! Also, over the course of running through the game, I accidentally found every piece for the Staff of Herding except the plans. So I finally just farmed those and got my staff. Whimsyshire is hilarious. Think before I start looking for gear with better stats, I'll save money to finish training up my blackmsith and leveling that staff. So, looks like I'll be farming Act 1 for a while.
Also, still loving this game. I don't understand all the criticism at all. This has completely pulled me in and it's already the msot time I've invested in a game in years.

Seriously! They complain about the story line and acting but then bizarrely say D1 and D2 were far better
D1 was made 16 years ago, the entire thing was 15 levels of dungeons in from 1 town straight to hell in 256 bit color mode! D2 was a great expansion on it but comes nowhere near what D3 is.
I have no idea what these complainers were expecting? Act 3 in D3 is so fricken epic, it's like being actually in the LOTR ROTK battle for Minis Tirith! How can one not like that?!
The story isn't great. But if you look at the plotline, it's no more cliched/goofy than Diablo 2 was. It's really about the same caliber, in terms of story. I think the problem is that we were all 12 years younger and less critical back then.
I thought they did a good job with it, and it still pulled me in, even though I was more aware of cliched and cheesy elements than I was back then.
And the play mechanics are amazing. I think after 1.0.3, if they manage to fix the problem with melee in inferno it will be an excellent game. It's pretty close now.
And the art. Everytime I change acts, I'm still impressed with the details in the areas. I don't know what people were expecting. But if you look at what's available in hack and slash games, and then look at this game, it's obviously genre defining. It's definitely teh best of it's kind.
Edit: In addition the melee blance in inferno thing, they also need to adjust legendaries to be on par with the top 30% of rares. With maybe only the top 3% of rare drops of the same item level havign higher potential than a perfectly rolled legendary.
The story is better than any of the other games... there actually is a story.
I'm only in act two of hell mode, but most of my weekend went to playing my monk and wizard with friends. Game is still epic, had to buy some more gear for the WD and rolling through hell again... it's amazing how gear from 50 to 53 ups your DPS by 6000. I can almost buy my nightmare pony staff... I can't wait to get to 60 and get my buff so I can finally make some money.
I've been using Skype with an old WoW buddy I haven't seen in two years its been great. The push to talk isn't very friendly when your frantically kiting and pressing a bunch of buttons and unless you have a actual server you can connect to Vent isn't viable.
D3 is so good that my fiance has been playing on my account... less gaming for me. Long story short her laptop is fixed and I'll probably be spending another $60.
EDIT: 3 legends now (one from a corpse, one from a normal chest, and one from a random normal mob), two of them are on my followers one was on my WD and has been passed down to my Wiz.

Playing Diablo since 97. I know nothing and having nothing good to say, I be a troll.
i didnt say i was having trouble guys or finding it too hard. im saying that soem of the mobs should not abilities that counter act every1 of urs
i WANT incredibly hard mobs, but i want it to be a battle, about wit and skill, not illusionsts hurl morters at you while been bubbled and waller. its a no win without kiting and clicking out of caves
if we didnt loose the valor buff from changing spells it wouldnt be so bad, after all the game is about you want to play the game YOU want
again guys im not having trouble or moaning about it been hard, thats why i bought the game, i want a challenge, but the very hard mobs should be fun, not brute force kill them
I like practically all the elite/champion mods, except invincible minions, which is stupid. but some combinations jsut do not work. Like, setting it up where there's no way you can have enough hit points to survive the spinny laser thing, then combining it with jailer. LOL
The only possible DH counters are gloom, and survive through damage reduciton. or a well timed lingering fog. Either way, you have to have pretty high damage output to killl them before you are out of discipline.
my point was that there are things in the game that u dont have a chance against in solo, without kiting them and leaving them in a corner or logging out
I've actually heard from friends in act III and IV Inferno that say once you get passed a certain gear wall it becomes easier to play by yourself and actually harder with a group.
I know Bosses get something like +15% damage with a full four party group.
All I can add is when I was getting angry when playing my WD I just played another toon for a bit. Hoping by the time I get to inferno a update will happen

Yeah I'm still in act 1 on my monk. Not because I can't go any further. I could probably beat the butcher pretty easy but I want to actually have act 1 on farm.
Just began in Hell Act 2!! 30k health, almost 3k damage and I think 2.5k armor or something...anybody think I should sacrifice some health for some damage? The thing is, all of my gear has both VIT and DEX so it's not like I'm choosing to have that much health. I'm having no problem with normal monsters but some of the fucking elites are real difficult to beat...I have to run around all over the map and that;s not fun...
AND I haven't bought/sell any gear so that might also be why. I don't want to buy gear, I want to farm for it myself. I'll maybe buy some when I'm level 60 or something.
AND I haven't bought/sell any gear so that might also be why. I don't want to buy gear, I want to farm for it myself. I'll maybe buy some when I'm level 60 or something.
I sold a few pieces and bought 1 chest piece that had some Magic Find on it (I was literally at 0%). I'm pretty much the same way, though. I like to find my own gear and play the game in the same way I did Diablo 2. Although at the end I was in the Stone of Jordan trading game before I quit.
D3 just right now had a very steep gear wall and a lot of incoming spike damage. I dunno about casters but I have around 1040 resists all which is 77% damage reduction, I also have 60% reduction from armor, 30% dodge and 18% chance to block 1900-2700 damage. I STILL can get basically one shot by some packs in Act 1. So I can imagine for a ranged character its pretty brutal when you do get hit.
That's one of the things they said they were going to fix though. Less spike damage, more consistent damage. Honestly I don't see any problems they don't plan on hammering out, and yes a lot of things will change once the RMAH comes out, probably for the better the way its modeled right now.
So I'm just taking it easy farming some really mild stuff in Act 1 Inferno, leveling up my blacksmithing and buying my extra stash pages. Playing another character off and on. I don't think MoP is going to interfere with D3 in any way, it's a whole different team working on it. They're gonna nail stuff down.
As melee those big guys with the clubs are terrible. Because when you find some that are like... plague, desectrator, arcane, frozen and they're stacking DoT's on you and then do that overhand smash you're gonna at least be very hurt.
But yeah I wouldn't say some things are broken, but they're not working as intended. They want to smooth out the spike damage some and I really think the RMAH will make gearing up a lot easier for even people using the gold AH. Gold will always be used because there are so many sinks for it and once people can buy gold the economy is gonna get a lot busier.

I haven't got any items worth selling...maybe one or two, but that's that. No legendary, no set, no nothing!! Well I actually have quite a good yellow (rare?) two handed Bardiche or something that I kept in my stash. Currently it gives me 1200 or something more DPS when I equip it, but it's two handed and slow...I might go and sell in.
I had to google SoJ... <_< Wait I'm confused, did you trade the SoJ in D2 or D3?!?! Maybe it's just late...well it is actually late atm...lol

Gold was useless in Diablo 2, and for some reason the Stone of Jordan (Ring in D2) became the currency replacement for gold. I was stating I got into trading by the end of my time playing D2.
